Even though it was very strange pretending their was suspense after Stacy was taken out, I still enjoyed the finale a lot. Jerry was my guy, but I am happy with the results just like they are. Drew and Cheryl did rule the freestyle, and really, a lot came down to that dance. That was when they had to TAKE it, and they did.

I think adding 3 to the finale made it a fairer mix of the fan vote and judges vote in the end which is good for the show. Even in the first season though, it seemed kind of useless to cry farce or travesty. The only thing the winner gets is the title and the ugly trophy. It's not the Olympics. Everyone wins with the exposure of being on a popular show. Stacy is a much bigger star than she was before this started, so I am sure she will be fine.

No. He could potentially have won fan voting with the following:

34% Jerry
33% Drew
33% Stacy

In a 3-way race, winning does not mean you can assume 51% at all.

I voted for her because she is so f'ing hot. I don't recall if she ever danced or not, or if anyone else did either.

As to the episode, the producers should be shot. Halfway into the show, a 12 year old could figure out that Drew had won. Drew even hinted that he had done the math. Thank goodness for TiVo.

:lol: What a farce this show is. The best dancer finished third. Even Jerry beat Stacy. That shit was just too funny. If you want a dance contest, the drop the home vote producers and leave it up to the judges. Otherwise you get stupid shit like last night.

Just listening to you guys trying to figure out the voting shows just how idiotic and convoluted it is.

Agreed!

:thumbsup:
the only problem with this is that DVDTalk will be so littered with ugly pics (mine included) that the Feds will have to shut this site down.

aside from the butterface comment, you do have to admit cheryl's hair looks awful. It looks a lot like Uma's silly hairstyle from pulp fiction.

anyway, I really do have to wonder who are all the people voting for jerry. I've found people who've voted for every dance team - even Master P - but I can't find anyone who admits to voting for Jerry.

The black vote came out to vote during these shows and that's dat.

Fuck that, anyone can get three tens...how many can score 3 nines after years of being taken out on a slant route by LT?

Huh? Maybe I misunderstood the latter part of your statement. Funny huh? It's kind of like AI's audience keeping in those who we know can not sing... -ohbfrank-

Romeo and Ashley would've won.

I called the winners both seasons right from the start. This show is a big joke! It was the biggest joke season 1 when ABC's "It" girl Kelly won and its another joke this season. Glad I never wasted my time actually watching this show...

Personally I'm glad Stacy didn't win. She has the most raw talent of the lot but I feel she could have done a lot more. She just didn't have enough hustle. But I wonder how much of the was her fault or Tony's. His choreography was tecnically sound but, save for a few dances, he didn't really give Stacy much of a challenge. All through this show I've been trying to imagine how great she would have been with a partner like Louie or Maksim.

I like Jerry but I don't believe he should have made it to finals (it should have been Lisa). And, though I'm glad he gave it his all (and then some) once he was in the finals, he should not have beaten Stacy.

That said, I do firmly belive that Drew and Cheryl deserved that trophy. It was obvious that they truly hungered for the title and time and time again they demonstrated their zeal through each dance. They were intense, driven and they improved each time they took the stage. And that's why I voted for them.

Had Stacy been just as driven, she would have been my number once choice to win.

If you've never watched the show, how do you know whether either win is legitimate? For that matter, why comment on a show you've never watched?

Of course it's a joke. It's Dancing with the Stars. This is not serious ballroom. It's not serious period.

Oh, and you aren't fooling anyone. You totally wasted your time actually watching this show.

Agreed. This is why (unfortunately) the audience vote has to stay. If this was a true competition, the audience vote would have been nixed.

If it was a true dance competition, Kenny Mayne and P wouldn't have been in the same ballroom with Stacy or Drew. It can't be a pure dance competition with that lot.

Well there's that too. :shrug:

So... anyone up for casting DWTS Season 3? (just for fun)

Don't know...but please....no more "gansta ballroom!"

Just heard a little tease on Entertainment Tonight that Lisa Rinna's husband, Harry Hamlin, might have caught "the bug" and would like to do the show next season....

Ricky Henderson would be good

Wit such a large pool to choose from... I doubt that anyone I put down would be asked.

However, I would like to see a healthy Romeo (w/ Ashley) be in Season 3.

I'd like to see John Larroquette in the John O'Hurley/George Hamilton role.




... and whatever they do, they should leave Ted McGinley out of it. ;)

nah... he still didnt retire yet :hscratch:

Well, we'll just have to agree to disagree. But it's obvious she never had much of a chance anyway. .

As for season 3, this show lost me after this season. The retarded home vote killed any desire I had to continue watching. Although, Ricky Henderson might get me two watch one show at least! ;)

As for the first season, I only ever saw one dance. So I have no clue who performed the best. Who was the best dancer in season one? Any thoughts?
